Of Plow Apparatus
For Battling Borer
Agriculture magazines have
heen making note of the name of
Leonard G. Sihoenleber, who was
a graduate of the university agri
cultural engineering department in
192S. He and one of his fellow
workers at the United States de
partment of agriculture are the
inventor? of a plow attachment
that may prove valuable in the
control of the European corn
borer which has been puzzling
farmers.
By the use of the newly devel
oped apparatus the engineers have
n useful and inexpensive method
of completely plowing under corn
stalks and vegetation of the pre
ceding year, which has been found
to be the most successful means
of battling the borer.

months run it had on the street.
Pete Sumption, who returned to
the Players from New York only
this year, is directing the play, as
well as playing a minor role in it.
Concerns Personality Clash.
The story of the show is
familiar to most students in the
university, concerning the clash
between the romantic ar.d artistic
mind of Stella, the role in which
Dorothy Zimmer appears, and the
materialistic mind of the Hallam
family, into which she is married.
The forcefulness of Stella's char
acter arrayed against the entire
family is a convincing story in it
self, and the play would be well
worth the trouble if that were the
only thing.
But it is not by any means! The
wise cracking of Helen Hallam,
Mary Kav Throop's role, is, in it
self, a decided pleasure. Clara
Christenstn's fine portrayal of the
part of Mis. Hallam, which was
the last and considered one of the
best rol.s which the late Louise
Closser Hale ever carried, is also
a treat.
Perkins Has Juvenile Role.
Dwight Perkins interpretation
of the part of Jerry, juvenile with
ambitions to go abroad and study
architecture, who falls in love with
his Aunt Stella, is also so very
good that no play-goer should miss
it, if too were the only thing.
Advance sales for the opening
have been very good with sugges
tions of a seil-out for the latter
part of the week in evidence.

Fisher Presente Bouquet.
Cadet Colonel Edwin Fisher pre
sented the honorary colonel with a
bouquet of American Beauty roses
which were carried in by Philip
Scott Cpoerry, 6-year old son of
Captain and Mrs. G. V. Spoerry.
Followed by the lieutenant col
onel and regimental sponsor, the
cadet colonel then escorted Miss
Bunting from the stage and
through the arch of sabers which
nearly 200 junior and senior R. O.
T. C. officers had formed down the
center of the hall, while coed
sponsors left the stage and joined
their escorts who formed the first
unit of the saber march. Addi
tional student officers and their
dates stood at attention in pairs
facing the stage on either side of
the central formation.
Review Grand March.
Departing from the custom of
previous years, the cadet and hon
orary colonels returned to the
stage following the march through
the arch of sabers instead of lead
ing the grand march. Seated on
thrones on the stage, they and the
lieutenant colonel and regimental
sponsor reviewed the uniformed
cadet officers as they executed the
grand march. New maneuvers
planned by Colonel Oury featured
the traditional march which ended
with lines of sixteen couples
abreast facing the stage.
The R. O. T. C. band played dur
ing the presentation ceremonies
and for the grand march.
The method of presenting the
honorary colonel was devised by
Marvin Robinson, graduate archi
tecture student, who was adjudged
winner of the military depart
ment's presentation scheme contest
some time ago. Unusual lighting
effects were utilized to make the
presentation especially effective.
The audience's first view of the
stage showed a representation of
Nebraska Hall, present military
headquarters, but under novel
lighting effects, this scene gradu
ally faded and in its place appear
ed the front of the proposed me
morial armory.
Broadcast Ball.
The presentation cercmonii-s and
music of the orchestra were broad
cast over KFAB from 10:15 until
11:30. Dancing was permitted an
extra half hour until 12:00 by spe
cial ruling of university authori
ties. Thirty-three coeds served as
sponsors of the various R. O. T. C.
units following their selection by
cadet officers a short time ago.
Roma DeBrown, Lincoln, Kappa

mental sponsor, while battalion
sponsors are as follows: Virginia
Selleck, Lincoln, Kappa Kappa
Gamma, first battalion; Florence
Panter, Dorchester, Delta Gamma,
second battalion; Elizabeth Kelly,

Miss Lucille Hunter, St Edward,

ian Smith, Omaha, Delta Gamma,
Company A; Miss Maxine Cloidt,
Plattsmouth, Pi Beta Phi, and
Miss Alice Beekman, Blair, Delta
The total costs of all the activi
ties in the United States are not
available. Each year congress ap
propriates $4,000,000 for the Ti. O.
T. C. and secondary school units
and $250,000 to the national board
for the promotion of rifle practice.
These appropriations, however, are
for the annual current expenditures
alone and do not include the fig
ures for the pay and allowances
for war department personnel as
signed to these various activities,
nor do they include the cost of ma

regular war department stocks.

which complete figures are avail
able, the R, O. T. C. alone cost
$10,696,504.
